abyssinia in the year i 1s40 nnd ratified in 1s.w in which it was | stipulated that each state should receive embassadors from tiie other air i'lowdcn who had been for ninny years english consul at

liifoitnniitely mr 1'lowdi'ii who had succeeded in winning the favor of tlie emperor to a large e ! tent was killed and his successor sir | cameron was soon after his arrival in i in 186:2 told by the king that he desired to j carry out tlie above mentioned treaty ; lie j even wrote au autograph letter to queen victoria asking permission to sent an embassy to london although the let ter readied england in february lsi'i it remained unanswered ; and the suppo sition is that tli ia circumstance together with 11 quarrel with mr stern a mision aiy who in a book on abyssinia had spoken disiespectfully of the king and who had rcmonstri t d against the floggh g to death of two interpreters roused the king's temper and a year after having despatched the unanswered letter he sent armed

in england on the arrival of the news of this outrage against brit ish subjects ; but in consideration of an armed expedition having to tndergo many hardships in such a warm climate it wits deemed best by the english government to use diplomacy iu ita efforts to have the prisoners released it wan not until tho second half of august 1865 that mr rassam an asiat ic by birth was sent ou a special

way the friendly relations of thn english and abyslnian monarchies might be best extended bo i treated the prisoners with leniency only * for it short period and soon used rigorous i measures towards his victims as a reft i son for his change of conduct ho after ! ward gave an alleged report that english j b'ronohi and turkish troops wero ou their way to invade abyssinia theodore's letter was conveyed to ' england by mr elad a gorman mission ary who was also tho bearer of a letter from mr uassam in which ho ret nested that english artisans be sent to engage in tho abyssinian service tbe

he felt himself strong enough to formally ! claim the throne of all abyssinia and he j was ciowned as such by the abulia sail i inn lhe head of the abyssinian church j ii is reign soon proved to be tbo most ef 1 tiiiivt alyasiuin had ever had as soon ns hu came into power his otton tion was directed to the importance of be ing on terms of friendship with tlie gov ernment which rules india and which lias established itself in the neighboring stronghold of aden lit therefore re solved to assert the rights assured to him . by virtue of the treaty made between | great britain ind abyssinia in the year i 1s40 nnd ratified in 1s.w in which it was | stipulated that each state should receive embassadors from tiie other air i'lowdcn who had been for ninny years english consul at mussowali al i though not an accredited agent to abys j sinia went to that country with presents for the people in authority and remained during a war which brok out at tlie aces sion of theodore liifoitnniitely mr 1'lowdi'ii who had succeeded in winning the favor of tlie emperor to a large e ! tent was killed and his successor sir | cameron was soon after his arrival in i in 186:2 told by the king that he desired to j carry out tlie above mentioned treaty ; lie j even wrote au autograph letter to queen victoria asking permission to sent an embassy to london although the let ter readied england in february lsi'i it remained unanswered ; and the suppo sition is that tli ia circumstance together with 11 quarrel with mr stern a mision aiy who in a book on abyssinia had spoken disiespectfully of the king and who had rcmonstri t d against the floggh g to death of two interpreters roused the king's temper and a year after having despatched the unanswered letter he sent armed force 10 the missionary station seized the missionaries and put them in chains he also cast mr cameron into prison and had him chained continually to an abyssinian soldier croat excite ment prevailed in england on the arrival of the news of this outrage against brit ish subjects ; but in consideration of an armed expedition having to tndergo many hardships in such a warm climate it wits deemed best by the english government to use diplomacy iu ita efforts to have the prisoners released it wan not until tho second half of august 1865 that mr rassam an asiat ic by birth was sent ou a special niissiou to the abyssinian potentate and was re ceived on his arrival in february 1866 in a truly magnificent style thn release of the prisoners being at once ordered by tho king but the hope thus raised wan boou
